Joel: Good love, yes. I have been thrilled to be involved in the
Sweetwater, but I have done it for the love of music alone alone. I’m
thrilled to hear that you have enjoyed the club. Please continue to join
in! We are thrilled to have the community embrace it!

The thing I loved about Jer was that he never “played it safe”. There
always was an edge to his playing, careening here to there on a whim. I
miss that. He drove the band for the longest time, and they got staid when
that reversed during his decline. I miss the “fire” of discovery they used
to have. But I wish them luck and love that﻿ all the newbies have a taste,
just a taste, of the Glory Days of yore.
